Banner Day Camp is a proud supporter of SCOPE Midwest, the local affiliate of the nonprofit organization dedicated to providing economically disadvantaged children with the opportunity to experience summer camp. 

Since 2007, SCOPE Midwest has provided over 1,700 camp scholarships to children from underserved communities with the support from individuals, families, business, and foundations. SCOPE is dedicated to giving SCOPE campers the chance to learn new skills, connect with nature, and develop the sense of independence that can only come from being away from home. These children receive these benefits and many more; this is a gift that will have positive effects that will last throughout their lives.

The Bradley Schwartz Campership Fund provides camp scholarships to honor the memory of Brad Schwartz. Brad was a co-founder of SCOPE Midwest and the son of Allen and Helen Schwartz and brother of Stacy Schwartz Kotelov, owners/founders of Banner Day Camp. The fund recognizes Brad’s dedication to SCOPE and his commitment to ensuring all children have access to summer camp.
